A handwritten unbound Tibetan text (pecha) on handmade paper. Written in "headed" Tibetan dbu chen (Uchen) script with the last page in "headless" Tibetan dbu med (Ume) script. A ritual text detailing the eighty inauspicious signs, the eighty evil omens and methods of reversing or counteracting their effects. (Tib. ལྟས་ངན་བརྒྱ་བཅུའི་བཟློག་པ་བཞུགས་སོ། Wylie. ltas ngan brgya bcu'i bzlog pa bzhugs so) perhaps better as (Tib. ལྟས་ངན་བརྒྱད་བཅུའི་བཟློག་པ་བཞུགས་སོ། Wylie. ltas ngan brgyad bcu'i bzlog pa bzhugs so).
Extent: One unbound book consisting of seven folios.
Size and dimensions of original material: Each folio is 28 cm x 8 cm.
Condition of original material: Some page edges missing, some pages ripped or stained and with one page repaired with tape.
Custodial history: All the material was passed to the current owner by his father. Nyima Dorje is not a practising chowa but his father, grandfather and great grandfather were well established and well respected practitioners and would travel widely to undertake tantric rituals.
Arrangement: All the material was kept in the prayer room of Nyima Dorje's house (unseen). The precise country of origin is unknown. However it is almost certain that the original text was created in Tibet, though the specific material in question may have been copied locally in Spiti (India) at a later date.
